Getting dental implants is a big decision — and knowing the right questions to ask before dental implants can make the whole process feel a lot less overwhelming. At The Crown Dental Arts here in Draper, UT, Dr. Logan Locke and Dr. Cierra Diamse want every patient to understand their options, goals, and what to expect. Whether you’ve been thinking about implants for a while or are just curious about what’s involved, this guide will help you prepare for a confident, informed decision.
Where Should You Start With Dental Implants?
Setting up a consultation is your perfect first step. Having a list of questions to ask before dental implants helps you get answers that matter to your situation. Dr. Locke and Dr. Diamse take the time to listen, explain your options, and outline what’s next. During your first visit, you’ll talk through your concerns, health background, and what you want to accomplish with your smile.
No question is too small — take notes, bring photos, or ask about outcomes for people with similar needs. Everyone’s path is different, and we’ll make sense of each choice together so you feel ready to move forward. Get to know our team and see what makes our approach unique.
Are You a Good Candidate for Implants?
Not everyone’s situation is the same, which is why evaluating your candidacy matters. We’ll look at several factors:
- Your oral health and gum condition
- Bone density and jaw support
- Lifestyle factors like tobacco use
- Medical history and current health conditions
These details help us know if implants are the best fit for you, or if there’s prep work needed first. You might hear questions about how you care for your teeth or your dental history — that’s all part of building the best plan. At The Crown Dental Arts, thorough evaluation comes first because a solid start means smoother results at every stage.
Understanding the Implant Process
Curious what happens once you decide to move forward? Dental implants involve several steps, each designed with your comfort and safety in mind. We start with detailed X-rays and digital scans, using the latest technology to map your mouth and plan the ideal placement. The actual procedure is done right here in our Draper office, and healing time varies, though most patients return to daily activities quickly.
Every step — consult, placement, and restoration — comes with guidance and answers, so you always know what’s next. Learn more about dental implants or explore All-on-X options if you’re considering full-arch restoration.
How Long Will Implants Last?
Patients often ask about lifespan — understandably so. Implants are designed to be a long-lasting solution, but a few factors impact how long they hold up. Excellent oral hygiene, regular dental checkups, and staying on top of any changes in your mouth keep them in great shape. Implants themselves can last decades, while the crown may need to be replaced after many years of wear.
We provide clear care instructions and check in at each preventive visit, so you’re never left guessing about next steps. Every mouth is different, but with the right care, implants have a strong track record.
What About Comfort During Treatment?
We know a supportive, welcoming environment makes a big difference if you’re a little nervous before dental work. Our Draper office was built with your comfort in mind — from soft lounge chairs to noise-cancelling headphones for patients who’d like them, it’s the little things that add up. Take a peek at our office tour to see what we mean.
Kids are welcome, and our team makes sure every age feels included. Flexible scheduling and timely appointments mean you can plan visits around work or school. If you think of a question or concern between visits, reach out — we’re always happy to help.
Cost and Financing Options
We get a lot of questions about pricing. The number of teeth involved, the type of implant, and any additional steps — like bone support treatments — each play a role. At The Crown Dental Arts, we’re upfront about costs and walk you through estimates at your consultation.
We offer flexible financing options to spread out payments and make treatment more accessible. Check out our specials for current savings opportunities. If you have specific needs or concerns, our coordinators work one-on-one with you to answer questions and find the right solutions.
